One Hundred and Nineteen Arrests.

THAT IS THE RECORD FOR THE FOURTH JULY
THE PRISONERS IN THE POLICE COURT TODAY
During the twenty-four hours ending at O'Clock
this morning the police made one hundred and
nineteen arrests, OF which twenty-five were for
1ntoxication- There were only nine arrests OF
persons for celebrating the day by setting on ex-
plosives, but more than half OF the arrests were
caused by persons celebrating the day by drinking
rum. This morning the ''van" made three trips TO
the Police Court and carried fortyeight prisoners
thirteen OF them being females. Upon arriving at
the courthouse the male prisoners were placed In
the two dark cells, and In the absence OF enough
cell room the women were given seats along the
corridor. AS the male prisoners were called up
they were compelled 10 pass through the corridor
where the females were awaiting trial. As each
prisoner would pass the women would have some
thing TO say, and they enjoyed themselves as much
US II they had been out on picnic. Most OF the
prisoners were brought up on charges OF drunk
al1d disorderly, and fnes OF s. and $40 were i'm
posed In such cases, and very few OF the fines
pad. VIM. Boyle and Salvador DemarZa were
call ed for setting on flre-crackers, and they for

tiOns i'm N Fourth OF July Grafton.


SArBRooK, Ill, July 5.-Senator Cullom deliv-
cred the Fourth OF July Grafton here before large
audience. oncoming down To the questions OF the
present, he said, I'm part: This country has been
called the land OF the free ana the asylum OF tho
oppressed. So IL has been. IL is now, but Il ls
not and should not be allowed to be the dumping
ground for all the paupers ana criminals of other
lands The time has come when the bars OF
our country should be put up and fastened
against such imposition. IL should have been
done before now We invite all 10 come
with honest purposes TO be law-abiding
citizens who care for themselves and viii labor
for the up-building OF good government But We
have no place Tor fugittves from justice, Tor
dynamiters, or lawless classes OF any character.
We talk about protection OF human industry and
home labor yet home labor, either native or natu-
raliZed cannot be protected while the gates Of
ports OF entry opened wide 10 the tens OF thou
sands OF persons sent here by other countries 20
tighten their own burdens. Immigration should
not be stopped, but n should be regulated, and
so regulated that the eighteen million persons now
In this country engaged In gainful occupations
should not be thrown out OF employment or forced
10 accept wages which Will not support them ana
their families and give them fair chance IN
the race OF life. one OF the great problems
OF the day is the labor problem. lt Is not q
party question, it Is a problem demanding the
greatest wisdom and the highest craftsmanship.
Every labofing man should have his reasonable
share OF the profits OF his labor, and the questions
arising between employer and employed between
labor and capital should be adjusted on the basis
OF right. The condition that has existed for the
last few years should not be allowed to continue
II IL can be avoided by any legislative executive or
judicial action, or by all combined. There can be
found remedy FOR existing evils. Men must live
and they must let live, and IL employers and en-
ployed would feel the force OF the obligation that
rests upon each there would be less friction and
more profit 10 all concerned. The people OF the
country ought not to be taxed more than the
needs OF the Government require 10 meet It's obli-
cations. The senator also gave his views upon the
Interstate commerce law In much the same form
before the grain dealers association last Week.

PROF. BALDWIN aRAsPs PARACHUTE AND FALLS
The much-talked-of leap from q balloon was
made by Prof Thos. s. Baldwin at the fair grounds
in Quincy, Ill, yesterday Over 30, 600 people wit
messed the performance, which was the most
daring and thrilling ever attempted by man. His
origina. intention was to send the balloon up 600
feet ana hold 1t captive by Q rope and make
the jump from that height, and afterward draw
down the balloon and make regular voyage.
owing to the high winds which prevailed the rope
scheme was abandoned. Baldwin ascended to the
height OF one mile and then holding his parachute,
launched himself into space. The parachute Is an
umbrella-shaped affair, with ribs OF cord which
aeronaut clings. The parachute Is made OF silk,
and is 1S feet In diameter. The parachute was
attached to the netting OF the balloon by q small
cord intended to break by the weight OF the aero
naut. When the jump was made the parachute
was closed and the nrst 200 feet the aeronaut
panded, the speed became less rapid and the aero
naut and his strange apparatus foated steadily
down like bird. It was grand and beaut-
ful sight. The descent was accomplished in three
the ground with some force In sliding manner,
but was not even Jared by the shock. The de-
scent varied about q quarter OF q mile from the
vertical and Baldwin struck the ground q mile
and half from where the ascent was made. He
tried 70 collapse the balloon before Jumping from
loon escaped and was soon out OF sight, going east
at an altitude OF mile and halt Baldwin,

handling that has fallen anybody for some time
Goschen began by attacking Morley, declaring
with quite unnecessary pompousness, 'If the
charge OF obstruction. with the connivance OF the
lront opposition bench, has not been made, will
make it" He screamingly extolled the queens
personal service to the country and empire in the
cause OF unionism, and yehemently charged the
ieaders OF the opposition with failing In a highly
responsible duty by negIcating TO support the eX
ecutlve In Its huge task in Ireland, which day by
gay was becoming more difficult. Harcourt
pounded TO the table, flung his hat upon IL, and

A Town Burned Up.
THE TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION DONE BY FIREWORKS
IN OIL REGioHS |

IN THE OIL REGIONS.
PITTSBCRG, Pa, July "a special from Erie Pa,
says the town OF Clarendon, in the upper oil
country and on the Philadelphia and Erie Rail-
road, was almost wiped out by q confiagration
last night over 100 business hous IS and dwellings
including Weavers Hotel, LOgans Hotel and the
poSt-Ofhce, were consumed before O'Clock this
morning, and the flames were still spreading The
town had no fire department., and the people were
compelled to fight the flames with buckets OF
water. The conf1agratlon started at IL 80 O'Clock
last night In Weaver's Hotel, In the middle OF the
town, and in an old mill on the outskirts. IL
originated from the careless use OF fireworks and
reaching the oil tanks the destruction OF the
town was speedily wrought. JnO. Stewart was
caught In the bursting OF tank and was cre-
mated. II is feared that many have met q similar
fate. All the business part OF the town has been
destroyed, and at O'Clock this morning Henry's
Hotel and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
depot were burning. The buildings being OF pine
and hemlock burned like tinder. The greatest ex-
element prevails. The valley is full OF fire and
seething oil, and the people becoming panic
stricken have led to the hillsides FOR saIety. No
estimate can be put upon the loss. but there is
every reason to believe that 1t will reach half
million. There is but little insurance.
